ONE Year a Man Builds the Log Cabin of his Dreams Alone in the Forest, Start to Finish
It's amazing what one person can do in just one year.
My name is Bjorn Brenton, I'm 21 years old. I am a passionate outdoorsman living the life of my dreams.Therefore, I purchased a plot of land overgrown with dense bushes in the middle of the forest to bring a new blossoming life here.
I built this log cabin mostly in my spare time! It's been a labor of love, with many challenges along the way, and i loved every minute of it! For many years I dreamed of building my own house, but I was tired of just dreaming, I decided to make it a reality before itβs too late.
Building this small log home is just the beginning. There is still a lot of work to be done to make the dream a reality, and I am glad that I can share it with you.
On the first floor I will make a sauna, shower and a small room for relaxation and cooking, and on the second floor - a temporary bedroom.
The main purpose of building this log house was to gain experience for the construction of my large house, where my family and I could live permanently. Therefore, very soon I will start my new big construction
Next summer I plan to start raising livestock, maybe goats, sheep, chickens and cows. Also, my goal is to learn to live a more independent life.
All my construction and my life in the forest will be documented on this channel "Bjorn Brenton"
